Reading Between The Lines............

Look for or discover a meaning that is hidden or implied rather than explicitly stated.

Sometimes this can lead to disaster though! If one is unsure, I think one should come right out and ask!

Everything Happens For A Reason.....

I used to think that this was the dumbest idiom ever, but .... I've since come to see that as simple sounding as it is, that it is true. It's true, that 'everything happens for a reason'.... it doesn't always imply bad JuJu, and it's doesn't necessarily imply that it's good JuJu. It's just .... well.... a simple truth, I think.

.......On a Wing and a Prayer.......

The above social expression finds it roots as an English proverb, born out of an WWII film, starring John Wayne, called The Flying Tigers. (1942, Black and White war propoganda film).

In the film, pilots of planes, nearly on their proverbial last breath, would say that they hoped they could make it back, "on a wing and a prayer."

Sometimes, people will say this phrase when saying goodbye to someone they love and care about too...... "I'll let you fly on a wing and a prayer" ..... which i think is a very very sweet way to say goodbye....... :stillheart:
